Well, it's day 2. In my time with God, I was reminded that all of creation speaks of a Creator who loves order. If the Creator of the universe can give this world such order and precision, then certainly He can give me the wisdom and insight I need to have order and organization in my home of 7!
I am reminded of a drawer that is filled with clutter, things just scattered and tossed in there. When one takes everything out, sorts it and straightens it, the drawer will be able to close easily. It doesn't mean anything was necessarily thrown away, but rather sorted into where it belongs. So it is with my life. My desire is to carefully weigh both what I do with my time and space and decide carefully what needs to fill my life.
We are step-by-step going through the house and decluttering. As the excess is removed, there is a sense of liberation and freedom. Contentment and joy are not linked to what possessions we have, but rather, they come to us from God. It is only after I seek His face that I am filled with all I need.
Today I am challenging the kids to carve out their own time with God, to seek Him and draw on Him as their source. If they can grasp this concept at a young age . . . what a walk!
